Autoimmune (type 1) diabetes mellitus results from the destruction of insulin-producing
pancreatic β cells by T lymphocytes. Prediction of cell-mediated autoimmune diseases by
direct detection of autoreactive T cells in peripheral blood has proved elusive, in part
because of their low frequency and reduced avidity for peptide MHC ligands.
